Pidgin is a GTK Instant Messenger client for a variety of instant + messaging protocols. +

+
+ +

Joseph Bisch discovered that Pidgin incorrectly handled certain xml + messages. +

+
+ +

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted instant message, + possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of + the Pidgin process. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All Pidgin users should upgrade to the latest version:
